    I'm from NZ - I know the Disney does not ay well, and that your living is taken from your pay, but I was just wondering, paying for food etc as well - how do you live on this wage?
    Obviously its possible, but is it really hard?

    Since I live quite far away, it'd take a lot to get over there so I just want to make sure I won't be going backwards too much in terms of $, lol.

    Also - does anyone know if the reuqirement - to have done a year at uni- means that if you are finishing your first year you can still apply? Like, I'll be done by Nov 3...

    Ignoring the wonderful contribution above,

    Hi there
    when it comes to pay its quite simple, you should in theory be doing 40 plus hours a week meaning that even if you get the lower paid jobs you should be earning more than $200 a week, i think the lowest paid job is $7 or around there, minus your living costs which are up to $108 looking at the information avalible to me. It leaves you with a least $100 to spend on groceries but with things like buffet pizza across the road and a variety of places that offer disney workers discounts i would not worry on surviving, if you work enough hours you should have enough to survive.

    coming back with money is up to you, if you want to travel america or buy cheap presents its your best chance whilst working for disney, but if you put some paychecks aside you can leave with a lot of money spare

    you have to be over the age of 18 and in full time education, as far as i can remember, you have to prove your coming back to your country of origin. I hope this has helped.

    I think you're thinking of the ICP, I'm not in full time education and they never said anything to me about it. The ICP, as far as I know, you have to be in FT Ed, or have graduated in the last 2 years, but for the CRP, I don't think there's any limit on age or education, as long as you're over 18. :)
